Let me start by saying I am not an Allstate agent. But I was just doing some reading, I know I am a bit behind as the deal was announced in the end of May.
But anyway, have any of your noticed that Allstate isn't just buying another insurance company Esurance. (Makes Perfect Sense .. sucks for their agents) But also buying Answer Financial which is an agency. Answer Financial offers quotes from lots of the big name insurance companies. *read somewhere it is one of the largest agencies as well.
I just cannot understand how that one is fair to anybody. How can an insurance company own an agency that writes with other insurance companies?
Just wondering what other peoples thoughts were.
